  • Critical Hit

    A very good gaming podcast for fans of YoVG. I appreciate the critical takes from the hosts, it makes for refreshing commentary for the most part; but, the tenor of the program is overwhelmingly negative, which does get exhausting from time to time.

    Black lives matter except the 15 people who lost their lives due to the riots you just called protests. And neither does the life of the pregnant woman where Floyd pointed the gun to her belly. You will never stop racism by promoting more racism
